T., Loyal Temperance Legion, a first
class cornet band, good public school, a
private school, church, good grist mill,
besides stores, butcher shop, large oar
rage manufactory, and many other con-
veniences, making it place where one can
live in ease and luxury. We are situated
in the midst of as good lot of farm land
as can be found anywhere. What we need
now is the railroad to come into the town,
(Which may be in the near future,) and a
few men Of means aud push to start some
manufactures. We think this would be a
good place to start a creamery, if conduct
ed by the right kind Of man, and one OF
our farmers offers to give site, ground
rent free, to any responsible person who
will start a creamery here. There is a
chance for somebody. Let Harrisonville
hear from you. and probably by that time
some one else will be prepared to offer
greater inducements on some other line.
